|. inthe physiological view, the law that
links the emotion with its exterior signs
is the sansp that governs all the mani
fcstations OF life and force; tits the law
Of the equivalence Of movements. AT
any particular moment, the quantity of
nervous force acorfespe TO the
state Of cohsciousnessA called SENSATION
has to expend itself In some way ana
engender somewhere an equivalent
manifestation Of force. The expended
force may itself follow thfea different
courses. Sometimes tho nervous excl!
tation Is transformed simply into cere-
bral movements corresponding with q
mental agitation. This is what takes
place, for example. when child hears
u story that interests and moves It, at
other times the nervous fexcitatlon. is
transformed into movements Of the vls-
cera and follows the ganglionic nerves.

Many yeafslago 1t was predicted that
there would be q tobacco boom In
qIadsden county Florida, at some time
N N the future, aud it may be safely said
thay the prophecy Is about to be full
filled. Men OF brains, energy and
means do NOT outlay a large sum OF
money, as has been done il that coun-
W, without Knowing what they are
about,fas far as any human reason can
20. Every enterprise ofany magnitude
Is not undertaken as n matter 1of
chan4ce, but as 3 result Of much
thought and reason. There are score
Of men in the countyiwho would have
done just as the syndicate is doing, but
they mad not the means. 9. It takes
money to! buy lands and cultivate
tobacco farms on an extensive scale,
though the certain profits may be Of the
most highly remunerattve, character. ID.
But tho, county is good for many,
other Industries besides the cultivation
Of tobaccb, "A stock farm would afford
plenty OF money. This year, in sea-
son oftwo months; tho drying Of black
pa9rrlfes ilcfs !, yielded an almost fabulous
profit. From less than a quarter Of an
acre in chis county, there were sold
enough LeConte pears to bring the

The Tomb of juliet.

Perhaps one Of the highest tributes
;paid tonthe genius Of Shakespeare is
to be found In, the pilgrimages made to
tho tomb, Of Juliet, Iii Verona, during
the past snfty years. In that timo 1T ia
estimated That, not, less than several
million people, nnostlytfrom England,
Sbut' embracing a very large number
from every part OF, the globe where
Shakespeare has been either lead OF
played. Our country has sent very
smany ,l.y mostly ladies'. who the past
lsnmnlsr,' were totbe seem doing homage
'to' tire tomb, or to the gerffus Of, the
man had lmlnoftalized 1t. He. says:
Nov, | never took much stock in
5i;ll 5i;lllomeo /: andsf Jnllet.!aIt always struck
me that they were Two very ridiculous
persons, and the best thing they ever
DID twaa to get themselves ont OF tho
way. But as ( waa told so many times
would not do to be so near. Verona
and not go there, i VENT and made the
pilgrimageito the tomb or Juliet. The
tomb is q fraud. It .is nothing bnt /,
8 sdlllapidated old marble farcophagas,
kept in a little hut, at the far end Of
the big garden Of a franciscan monas~
jtery, The. walk from the outside gate
Is under All overhanglng arbor Of vines,
from which great punches Of grapes
hang in the, utmost confusion. These
grapes were really quite delicious, and
afforded the only compensation for the
visit, The. us sarcophagt is empty, and
! what has become Of Jnliet's,. body can.
mot bettold. Tho sentimental indivi-
duals who come to look Have left tneir
cards for the spirit, ,6f Juliet. These
cards are cleared out Of tho sarcophagus;
I SUPPOSE seyeral times a year. 8 When
Hooked into it there were two or three
thousand cai DIS lying at the bottom bear.
ing the names Of high and low titled
persons, from counts and lcountesses
down to plain Smith with no prefix,
The Gapulet mansion is also one of tile
attractions of Verona. The balcony
where Juliet used to stand and listen to
the serenados is percbel very high up,
and Romeo and the other gallants Of
Verona must have strained their necks
to get 9 sight OF her." ia& - H
This description of'thest tomb talliea
with that Of others. The fact is there
never was such a tomb as one would
conceive Of from, shakespe descrip-
tion.H But, as he laid the scene Of his
tragedy in. Verona. the Veronese
deemed it incumbent upon themselves
to verify the tale" and 50 hunted up
an old time-worn sarcophagus and call
i5 "Jullet',s tomb.'' Thus as many
people. and, moro. were drawn to
Verona to see the tomb as have been
called to Blarney Castle, ireland, to
Kiss the Blarney stone.

Hindoo M.oEsllpers.

Thomas Stevens who went around
the world on his wheH, says in his
book that nothing interested him more
than tho modes OF worsIip Of various
nations j..
One OF the most sacred objects to the
Hindoo Is the river Ganges, "Mother
Gunga,'' who wings lffeto them from
the yfar7off snow-1eldslofNhe Himalayas
|insthe form Of water tosnourish their
crops. | onco overlook + wretched de-
yotee crawling, along tho Grand Trunk
road on his stomach toiathe Benares.
By way, OF penance }forshIs sins, he was
making his way in thisinainful manner
day after day and week hitter week, lit
orally twlrling along like 4 snake, He
was then about a hundred miles from
his destination and notimprobably had
alreadylcome other ihuhdreds. Arriv-
Ing Undue course Of time at Benares,
he would wash slls sins away by making
offerings TO one oramorS of tho ugly
wooden monsters erected in the sacred
city, representing the particular god
whom his besettine3rS S6sS offended,
and by pluhglng head. and heels lii the
Ganges. Some Idea or the bewilderlng
task'it would be to attempt an analysis
Of the Hindoo religion may be formed
BY tho reflection that more than 1900
HIndoo temples dot tho city OF Benares
alone, ,andgat every turn AND acor1er
ones gaze Ralights upon tile form lof
some lnonstrous painted idols Z Thp
Illndoo population Of the city is but
10000, yet more missionaries are sent
out from tho different temples by the
priests to induce the people Of India TO
make pilgrimages "a their godsEthah are
sentlout from all Chrlstendom.
The natives Of Bengal seemed to me
to fall down aud worship almost any.
